Description

A significant body of recent research is aimed towards understanding the anomalous parity-odd response of chiral media, such as chiral magnetic and vortical effects, with applications to heavy-ion collisions and Dirac semimetals. Remarkable progress has been achieved in the non-equilibrium kinetic approach to such phenomena. The chiral kinetic theory features novel properties implementing non-trivially the physics of quantum anomaly and Lorentz invariance. Based on: PRL 109(2012)162001; PRL 113(2014)182302; PRL 115(2015)021601.
